As the sports world argues over Tim Tebow, complains about a National Championship field goal kicking contest and watches Floyd Mayweather do everything he can to convince us he’s not dodging Manny Pacquiao (even though he is) FantasyNASCARPreview.com is officially back at work, getting ready for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Our first order of business, nailing down the FNP Fantasy NASCAR Rankings.
These are not geared towards any specific format, just each of our Top 30 rankings heading into the season.
